I think it would be interesting if he was off with Carly. It can't be any worse than what they're giving us now--"Oh, sorry Ciara. Daddy isn't coming home. I don't know why, he just changed his mind again." Bo already looks like a tool. :shrug:

Unless he's dead or being held hostage, there's no win here.

Exactly. They're really screwed no matter how they go about this. If he's being held captive, this is an exact copy of the Jack/Jennifer story from a couple years ago. And if he's still visiting with Shawn and Belle, then he's just an irresponsible, absentee husband and father. The longer the writers avoid this, the more damage that is done to Bo as a character. And it becomes even more glaring as time goes on.

i do recall there being something about Bo wanting to go after Stefano (in order to find evidence or something) in Bo's exit story, but the way they've written Stefano since Bo's exit, i'm not sure what Bo would be doing in that regard - tracking down Stefano & his female companion?!

Yeah I also remember a mention of investigating something related to Stephano when Bo first left .
